Cyclopentolate

Cyclopentolate is a medicinal substance similar in its action to atropine; used in eye drops to cause paralysis of the ciliary muscle and dilation of the pupil during eye examinations, and to treat certain inflammatory eye diseases.

Cyclopentolate is an anticholinergic drug. It blocks muscarinic receptors, interfering with the action of acetylcholine. This leads to dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) and paralysis of the ciliary muscle.

Due to this effect, cyclopentolate is used:

1. For the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases that require prolonged pupil dilation. For example, when examining the fundus.

2. For the treatment of iridocyclitis and anterior uveitis, since pupil dilation reduces pain.

3. As an anti-inflammatory agent.

Cyclopentolate is available in the form of eye drops and ointments under the trade names: Minims cyclopentolate, Mydrilate.

The effect of the drug develops 10-45 minutes after instillation and lasts about 24 hours. Side effects are possible in the form of increased intraocular pressure and allergic reactions.

Cyclopentolate is a drug that is used to dilate the pupil and paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye. It is an analogue of atropine, which is also used for these purposes. Cyclopentolate is used in eye drops and is used to examine the eye and treat inflammatory eye diseases such as conjunctivitis.

Cyclopentolate works by blocking the receptors in the eye that are responsible for the contraction of the ciliary muscle. This causes the pupil to dilate, allowing you to see and examine the eyeball better. Additionally, cyclopentolate can also be used to treat glaucoma, which is a disease in which intraocular pressure increases, which can lead to vision loss.

Trade names for cyclopentolate include minims cyclopentolate and mudrylate. These drugs are available in a variety of dosages and can be used for both treatment and research. It is important to note that the use of cyclopentolate may cause side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, and blurred vision. Therefore, you should consult your doctor before using this drug.

Cyclopentolate (Cyclopetalen) is a pharmacological substance of the same name in its effect on the ocular paralytic muscles. For the eyes this is the main element. The medication can disrupt the functioning of the nervous system. Cyclopetolate is credited with a major role in dilating the pupils of the eyes. It is used to stop spasm in a small organ located in the nasopharynx. Eye drops contain an increased amount of this drug. In medical practice, they are used in eye examination, in ophthalmology, during surgery, and for diagnosing the cornea. It is prohibited to use it for the treatment of various types of inflammation in the organs of vision. The medication also has its own side effects that cause an allergic reaction, so before using it, consultation with a specialist is recommended.
